Beloved U.S. TV star Judge Judy has been hospitalised for exhaustion.
The former family court judge, real name Judith Sheindlin, was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday (30Mar11) after experiencing intestinal discomfort.
She underwent an Mri scan and a number of tests, but the 68 year old, who will be discharged on Thursday (31Mar11), insists she just needs some rest.
She tells Tmz.com, "I was feeling funky this morning ... funky enough that I knew someone should give a gander over what I got.
"I'm just exhausted, and my body was telling me it needed a day to chill. At my age, I know my body. My body is fine."
